Circle left
The road is long
With many a winding turn
Left allemande, dosado
Allemande that corner and you weave
But I'm strong
Strong enough to carry him
He ain't heavy
He's my brother

Heads square thru
Dosado one time
Swing thru and then, spin your top
Right & left thru turn your girl
Square thru three now
Swing and promenade around the ring
No - He ain't heavy,
He's my brother

Sides face grand square
So on we go
His welfare is of my concern
No burden is he to bear
We'll get there
Allemande left and weave
For I know,
He would not encumber me
He ain't heavy,
He's my brother

Sides face grand square
It's a long, long road,
From which there is no return
While we're on the way to there,
Why not share
Allemande left and weave
And the load,
Doesn't weigh me down at all
He ain't heavy,
He's my brother
